Chapter 555: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Let’s go back to the morning of the shooting.
There are only wastelands and earth slopes near Lijia Village. The vegetation is lush in midsummer, so it is not easy to find someone hiding there.
The special forces members were leaning against the slope, lying in a crooked position.
"This old man is really good at hiding things."
"He disappeared into the wasteland like a rabbit."
"I'd rather go on a five-kilometer weight-bearing march!"
Discouraging words are like a flood, once you start saying them you can't stop.
“That’s enough!”
Tang Xiong stopped them from complaining: "If you don't want to rest, get up and continue searching."
"Captain Tang, stop!"
The team members laughed and said, "Brothers, we are just complaining, there is no other meaning."
"Hmph." Tang Xiong said, "If you complain too much, you'll lose your energy. Shut up and take a rest."
"Okay!"
Tang Xiong glanced at the team members and found that one person was missing. He scratched his itchy forehead and got up to look for someone.
Walking around the slope, Shi Danqing sat cross-legged on the ground, poking the ground with a wooden stick.
"Why are you doing this instead of taking a rest?" Tang Xiong asked her.
Shi Danqing rolled his eyes at him.
Tang Xiong sighed.
Shi Danqing was specially recruited into the special forces team because of her accurate shooting skills. The other team members looked down on her behavior of using backdoors, and since she was a woman, they excluded her everywhere.
As the captain, Tang Xiong was in a dilemma.
He stopped trying to persuade her, sat down next to Shi Danqing, took off his helmet, and scratched his itchy and sweaty head.
"Put on your hat, don't forget that Cai Gensheng has a gun, and his aim is very good." Shi Danqing said to him when he saw him taking off his hat.
"The hillside is blocking him, so he can't hit me." Tang Xiong scratched his head again.
Shi Danqing ignored him and continued to draw lines on the ground with the wooden stick.
"What are you drawing?" Tang Xiong asked her.
Shi Danqing rarely refrained from rebuking him, and said in confusion, "Strange."
Tang Xiong scratched his head and put his hat back on: "What's strange?"
"Cai Gensheng's escape route is very strange." Shi Danqing said.
When Tang Xiong heard this name, he was filled with anger.
Cai Gensheng shot and killed Wang Hong in front of their special forces team.
They chased after him the moment the gunshot was heard.
This old man has a problem with his legs. He limps when he runs fast.
As the elite among the elites in the military, it is not easy for the special forces to catch an old man.
Tang Xiong immediately promised Jiang Chen that he would definitely catch the man.
The result was a slap in the face.
Cai Gensheng plunged into this wasteland, taking advantage of the terrain and fighting a guerrilla war with them.
The special forces were not familiar with the terrain and were led around in circles by the old man.
Not only did they fail to catch the person, but two brothers were also killed in these three days.
Don't get me wrong, he's not dead. He just stepped on a trap and injured his legs and feet. He went back to the military area to rest.
When Tang Xiong thought of this old man, his head itched even more.
"Cai Gensheng has been farming for more than 30 years, yet he is still so vigilant. He is indeed a veteran from the battlefield. Awesome!" Tang Xiong exclaimed with gritted teeth.
Shi Danqing didn't respond to him, but continued to draw lines on the ground with the small wooden stick, which Tang Xiong couldn't understand.
"Can you please pay attention to me?" Tang Xiong retorted to her.
Shi Danqing suddenly looked up and stared at Tang Xiong.
Tang Xiong was startled: "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't Cai Gensheng run away after killing someone?" Shi Danqing suddenly asked.
...Tang Xiong was speechless.
"Who said he didn't run away? Haven't we been chasing him for so many days?"
"I mean why didn't he run outside."
Shitou Danqing glared at him, stretched out her foot to erase the line she had just drawn, and then grabbed the wooden stick to draw a triangle again.
"Look, let's assume the triangle is Lijia Village."
The sticks surrounded the triangle and drew a wavy line next to it. "The wavy line is the forest, and the area in the middle is the wasteland we are in."
Shi Danqing drew a few short lines on the wasteland. "This is the time and corresponding location of the vegetable roots that appeared in the wasteland."
Although the painting is crude, it is simple and easy to understand.
Tang Xiong nodded in agreement: "What's the problem?"
Shi Danqing drew an arrow from the head of the triangle to the wavy line.
"Cai Gensheng sneaked into the wasteland and escaped through the woods. Three days was enough for him to escape from the capital. Why didn't he run away?"
Tang Xiong frowned, "Now that you mention it, it seems like something is wrong. Why didn't he run away?"
Cai Gensheng had the ability to escape, but he didn't. Fighting guerrilla warfare with them in the wilderness was indeed a problem.
Shi Danqing's eyes suddenly became sharp: "He is waiting for someone!"
When Tang Xiong heard what Shi Danqing said, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Tian Zihui!"
The two said in unison.
"That makes sense." Tang Xiong clapped his hands.
Shi Danqing said sternly: "If Cai Gensheng knew that Tian Zihui was arrested the day after he killed someone, he would definitely run away!"
"We've been chasing him closely for the past three days. He shouldn't know that Tian Zihui has been arrested."
Tang Xiong stood up and said, "Cai Gensheng has a gun. He killed his wife of many years without hesitation. He has a cruel personality. We must catch him in the wilderness and not let him escape!"
"Everyone, cheer up. We must catch the guy today!" Tang Xiong pushed everyone's head and called them up.
"Captain, we've been running for three days. If we keep running, our shoes will wear out." The team member refused to get up. He turned over with his gun in his arms, wanting to sleep for a while.
"Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly." Tang Xiong kicked him on the butt.
“Ouch!”
"Bang!"
The explosion shook everyone.
"What's going on?"
Tang Xiong frowned and carefully leaned over to take a look.
I saw thick smoke billowing near the woods.
"Damn it, it must be the vegetable roots!"
This time, there was no need for Tang Xiong to urge them. The special forces members jumped up one by one and rushed to the place where the explosion occurred.
When I ran closer, I saw a half-meter-wide hole blown out in the yellow earth. The smell of sulfur was spreading, and it smelled like rotten eggs, strong and pungent.
Tang Xiong immediately ordered: "Scatter out, check nearby, be careful of bombs!"
"Yes!" The special forces members carefully dispersed and observed with the big pit as the center.
Tang Xiong pulled up his pants and squatted down to find the broken iron pipe in the exploded pit.
"Homemade earth bombs, this old man actually has this ability."
He was just sighing when the people who had dispersed came back.
"Captain Tang, there's no one in the east."
“There’s no one in the west either.”
"There's no one in the grove."
Tang Xiong frowned, "There must be a reason why this old man blew up a huge hole here for no reason. He can't be trying to play a trick on us, right?"
Shi Danqing, who was quiet, suddenly said, "Lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Tang Xiong frowned and suddenly looked towards the direction of Lijia Village.
"broken!"
